"Despite the venue being less than half full (the entire upper level was curtained off, and there were just a handful of people in the back of the lower level), the crowd was really into the show. Two guys to my left were bouncing up and down the entire time and alternately yelling “Liam” and “Noel.” It was a visually stunning spectacle, with four large video screens showing the band. The graphics were very retro-inspired, with the band initially appearing in black and white and filmed from the sides of their faces, rather than straight on. They superimposed the group’s faces over other psychedelic graphics later in the set.

And they definitely brought the attitude. I was highly amused by Liam standing with his hands at his sides, looking out at the audience during Noel’s guitar solos. Most people retreat to the back of the stage, but not Liam. "
